James Andrew Collins was born in Roosevelt Douglasco. He was raised in Howell Co Siloam Sprins

His parents Western Perrry Collins March 31 1851 in Twin Bridges Douglas Co to Daniel and Susan Collins (they were both Collins and first cousins). After Susand died Daniel Collins married Phebe (think Collins) they had more children Note Western Collins is listed in census as Wetson and other spelling of his name. When I ask my Aunt Zettie Collins Storns about him she did not know who I was talking about . Then she said Grandpa BUD. Western is buried in Collins cemetery In West Plains Mo as W.P. Collins along with Western is his wife Lucy Jones Collins three of their children and spouses are buried there. Daniell Martin Collins (his second wife Ada Conner's, Collins ,Collins Marshall) Benjamin Franklin Collins wife Claira "Alice" Johnson Collins.

Their other two children are Linda Jane Collins (she married as M.L.S.Jane Collins) and Elijah Jones buried in Perry cemetery Sharp Co Ark. James Andrew Collins known as Andy and wife Mandy Elizabeth Jones Collins are buried in James cemetery Randolph co Ark.
